2016 & 2015 Angel Stories

I have designed the Angels Everywhere Program as a result of many people telling me their experiences of “little miracles” in their lives. Below are some of the stories that participants shared in 2016 and 2015 since the second book was published.

Angel Stories from 2016

A Husband’s Spirit is Present
I have a friend whose husband had passed away. She was struggling with letting him go, so I decided to take her to a medium. While with the medium, I truly believe her husband’s spirit was present. He told stories of the past through the medium and he knew that I was not part of his past, but nevertheless, I am 100% certain that he was there. He told her what she needed to know and it was something that stayed with her. It was very loving and funny because I know he was truly there.

Relatives Come to take Mama
In April of 2013, my sister told me before Mama passed that she saw the sun shinning across the hall but not on Mama’s bed. Then later, right before my mother passed, the sunshine came back in the doorway and my mother and my sister turned toward the doorway and saw my grandmother and her two daughters who had already passed. It was at that moment that Mama’s heart stopped beating.

Heart Shaped Rocks
In Sept of 2011, my first born son died tragically. He was 50 and there are no words to describe the pain his leaving has given me. Some days are nearly unbearable. Then I began to spot heart shaped rocks everywhere. They would be as I worked in my garden, on my daily walks, at the park, grocery store parking lot, and while walking down the alley by my house. I have always liked interesting rocks, collected some, even though I’ve never studied rocks at all. These heart rocks are every shape, color and size. They are always very obvious and not something I hunt for. It’s a wonderful gift, all these heart rocks, that I feel sure are from my beloved son. Most days, I have a heart rock in my pocket.
PS – this is only one of hundreds of signs he has sent. My son would like the fact that I shared one with you.

Angels on Vail Pass
I was a young mother of 4, living in Denver when I experienced a frightening near death experience. On a beautiful day in the Spring of 1953, my sister called and invited me to a dinner party at her home in Gilman, Co. After picking up my kids from school, I left my youngest child with a friend and then the three older children and I started on our trip up Loveland Pass. (Note – in those days, I-70 and the tunnel had not been built and Vail pass was a two lane road with steep drops to the river)

By the time we reached Frisco, it was raining hard, but as we continued on, to Vail Pass the rain had reached blizzard, white-out conditions. I drove slowly and carefully knowing that to avoid skidding on snowy, icy roads, I should not use my brakes. Trying to allay all our fears, I told my children not to be afraid because we would soon be at my sister’s house. It was snowing really hard and I could barely see the road when I came around a corner and saw a car in the ditch and a woman standing in the middle of the road waving her arms.

In order not to hit her, I had to apply the brakes which caused my car to slide toward the edge of the road and straight down a 35ft embankment. Thankfully the front wheels caught on a rock ledge and our car was stopped. After checking that my children were ok, I told them I was going for help. In my high heels, I ran up the steep bank of rocks to the road in mere minutes.

Three big cattlemen were in the car behind me and had stopped after seeing me go over the edge. They told me to get into their car to stay warm while they went down to get my children. It took them a long time and when they came back up with my children they said they could not figure out how I had gotten up that rocky bank so quickly.

They gave us a ride to Minturn to arrange for a wrecker and to call my family. When my brother went back to get my car with the wrecker, he could not believe the sight. During World War II, he had been shot down in a B-25 and survived the plane crashing, but he said the accident sight shook him up just as badly. He could not believe we all made it out of that accident alive. I believe that surely our guardian angels were with us that day on Vail Pass.

Mom’s Kisses
My Mom had always held our faces in her hands and kissed all of us kids when we were growing up. Mom passed away in 1988 but when my husband passed away 2 years ago in 2014, she came to me, held my face and kissed me once again.

An Underwater Angel
One day, my college friends and I were diving off a waterfall. I dove off but got caught in an undertow. While I was underwater, an angel came and pushed me out and away from the undertow but somehow I still had oxygen. Then I heard a voice say: “Open your eyes and follow the light”. Thankfully, I then came to the surface. I am alive today because of that underwater angel.

Twin Shared Angels
I had a twin named John but he died 3 days after our birth. During a healing of memories prayer, I went to heaven to find my twin. He was sitting in God, the Father’s lap listening to Him read a book. We took turns going down a slide with our angels and playing on a trampoline. I know he is with me and we share our angels.

Warning Angel
I was downtown, standing at a traffic light, and as I started to cross the street, the warning hand symbol on the light began to flash. I heard a voice tell me to “go back, get on the curb and wait”. I thought, huh, but it repeated, “go back, get on the curb and wait”. So I went back to the curb and waited while thinking I could have made that light. But just as I thought that, a car ran the red light and wiped out two cars where I would have been.

Angel Protecting Me and My Baby
I was pregnant with my oldest child. I had several miscarriages prior to this so I was considered a high risk pregnancy. My Dr was not sure if I would ever carry a baby full term. When I was about 7 weeks pregnant, I was driving on day when I felt dizzy and passed out behind the wheel. I ran a red light and hit another car. It was a horrible accident and my car was totaled. However, I did not have a scratch on me. I was taken to my Dr to check on the baby and he said the baby was fine as well and that was the day we heard her heart beat for the first time.

God Visited My Father
This story begins in the winter of 1999 as my father lay in a hospital room knowing that death was soon to come. Maybe because he was thinking about his life, what he had done or what he felt he still needed to do, I’m not sure, but on one of my many visits, he asked me to have someone from pastoral care come and visit him. I told him I surely would. I then left to call one of the Deacons that I knew. Finding the Deacon in ICU, I asked him when he had time if he would please stop in and say a prayer with my father. He replied that he would be happy to. That evening when I had finished work, I went to spend some time with my dad, to check on him and see how his day had been. Before I went into my father’s room, one of the nurses made a comment about my father’s visitor that had come by wearing a beautiful robe. This was a Catholic hospital, so I assumed that the Deacon had just come from performing Mass and merely came in his ceremonial robe. (I thought this was very cool!) When I came into dad’s room, he was so excited and started telling me about the preacher (we’re Baptist) that came to pray with him. He said how nice he was, soft spoken, very comforting, and that he stayed a long time and talked. At the end of our visit he told me to be sure and thank him and I said I would. The next day as I was going about my duties, I ran into the Deacon so I began to thank him for his visit with my father but he informed me how sorry he was for not being able to make the visit. I stood there for a while and then thought – what a great impression God had made on my father.

Guardian Angel in a Western Straw HatIt was a rainy Saturday morning in St Louis County, Missouri on November 19, 1977. I was 16 and driving to my part time job at Dieckman Brothers farm. As I entered the curve at about 45 mph, the tires lost traction on the rain-slicked road and although the road curved, the car did not. It slammed head on into a very solid tree.

That old ‘66’ Plymouth only had a lap belt so my chest hit the steering wheel with a significant force. I realized that I was hurt pretty badly so I laid over in the seat thinking that someone would come along and help me. After seeing head lights go by and not stop, I managed to get myself back upright in the seat so that at least my head would be visible from the road. The next car that came by stopped a little ahead of mine and a young man wearing a western straw hat came over to help. My door was jammed and he was unable to open it but he was able to open the back door so I climbed over the seat and was able to walk to his car.

His passenger seat was laid back all the way so I got in and just laid down. I don’t know how I directed him to my home but after seeing that I was safely at the front door, he drove away. I told my mom that I had wrecked my car and that she had better take me to the hospital. She drove me to a hospital that she felt had a good reputation but after a few tests they transferred me by ambulance to Barnes Hospital which was a teaching hospital for Washington University. I was taken directly to surgery as thoracic surgeon, Dr Charles Roper’s patient. By the time I was on the operating table in his OR, almost 5 hours has elapsed and it was another 5 hours when he and his team finished the surgery. He reported to my family that they had done all they could but if I woke up and knew my name, I might have a chance of recovery.

He later told me that I was his triumph over a life threatening injury. I had fractured my left wrist and my right clavicle but what was more ominous was that I had ruptured the arch of my aorta. What was so amazing and miraculous was that I should have immediately bled out at the accident scene but it wasn’t until surgery that I required 8 units of whole blood!

While I was in surgery, my Aunt Bonnie was in the hospital chapel praying for me when a stranger approached her to say that the person for whom she was praying would be okay. The longer I live, the more convinced I become that the tall, slender young man in the western straw hat was no ordinary human Good Samaritan but a spiritual being sent to protect me.

A Mother Knows
During the second World War, frequently a mother would suddenly feel and state that her son was just killed. Then in a couple of weeks later, they would get a notice from the military that her son died at about the same time she had the feeling that he had died.

Girl on the Bus
When I was 19 and in high school, I was a statistic – a teenage, unwed mother. I had twins but to make matters even more dramatic, the father of the twins was abusive to me and he was black, so I had interracial children in rural west Texas. I felt ashamed, embarrassed, overwhelmed and afraid. One night, like a scene out of a movie, in an attempt to run away from the abuse and make a new home for my family, I found myself and the babies in a bus station. I needed to get from Texas to Denver. There was a Greyhound bus late at night. I had two 6 month babies, one in each arm, a diaper bag, and 500 miles to go for safety. I was so very anxious, guilt ridden and had a racing heart! How did I let it get this bad? I was shaking, afraid and couldn’t calm my nerves by deep breathing. So much adrenaline! The pain of trying to hold back my tears in public felt like a knife sticking in my chest and hands choking my throat. I felt both fight and flight kick in. Naturally, the babies had no ability to comprehend what was going on but could completely sense and feel my fear. They would not stop crying and I could hear people on the bus complaining. “How could this woman bring two crying babies on this bus? So much for my peaceful bus ride!” The passengers couldn’t sleep and I saw eyes rolling, shaking heads, glances of pity and anger, all combined with frustration! And then out of nowhere a man dressed in army fatigues came over and asked if he could help. He sat next to me and asked if he could hold one of the crying babies. Immediately, she fell asleep on his chest. Then he took the other baby and she also immediately fell asleep. I don’t remember his name but this is what he said. “Your babies are beautiful. I am on my way to see my wife and she is black. (He was white). When we have babies, they may look like yours.” Then he left. The babies slept in the seat for the rest of the trip and I calmed down and rested peacefully till we arrived in Denver. He did all I needed in that moment in time and then was gone. This is now 25 years ago and this moment, this interaction has stayed with me. I will never forget what this small act of compassion did for me. It will last my lifetime and has carried me through. My babies are now 26 years old and wonderful young adults with promising futures.

Sara’s Ashes
My husband and I have scattered Sara’ ashes in lots of places where we have traveled because Sara loved to travel. In Bandon Beach, Oregon she seemed to be with us on that day that we scattered her ashes. In each place, we talk to her and explain where we are. We’ve scattered her ashes in 14 states, Canada, Sweden and Ireland. It has been a healing thing for us and maybe Sara is with us on those days.

An Angel Looking Over my Friend
I helped out an elderly lady who was in her late 90’s. She lived in her home but was in hospice care toward the end of her life. One day, I went to her home to check on her and although I had a key to her inside front door, the storm door was locked. I heard the TV playing very loudly and thought she could not hear the door bell or my knocking. I had a quick errand to do, so I left and returned a little later and again I could not open the locked storm door. I called her hospice nurse who was in northern Denver and she told me she would meet me at her home. When she arrived, we tried the storm door and it opened! I told the nurse that I was sure it had been locked because I had tried very hard to open it. She said, “an angel unlocked it”! We found my friend on the floor in her bedroom suffering from dehydration and apparently hallucinating. The nurse picked her up and placed her on the bed. Eloise said, “can you see the angel?” as she pointed up to the corner of the room. She may have been hallucinating but I think an angel was looking over my friend as she lay on the floor for many, many hours and she also unlocked the storm door so we could get in and help her.

The Cat and The BabyMy mother had 16 children. When she was in labor with one of them (I don’t know which one), my father went to get the midwife. We lived on a farm away from other people in Fort Morgan, CO in the 1920s. While my father was gone, my mother delivered the baby by herself. She thought the baby girl was dead, so she wrapped her in a blanket and laid her in the crib. Then my mother heard a sound at the door. When she opened the door, a cat came into the house and went to the crib and laid down by the baby. My father never did find the midwife and so he returned late that night. Everyone went to bed. In the morning, my mother found that the baby was breathing and the cat had died. My mother and father believed it was a miracle and buried the cat in the back yard. They put a twig in the shape of a cross over the burial site.

Ski Run TributeI had a friend who passed away on January 13, 2008. He was suffering from colon cancer and was deteriorating quickly. His name was Greg and we were good friends and enjoyed skiing together. We had a very gregarious relationship and liked to tease each other and have fun. On the day that Greg passed away, I had decided to go skiing with other friends and while skiing, I got the call that Greg had passed away. I was on a chairlift when I got the call and decided to dedicate my next run to Greg and hike alone into the back country for a run by myself. I was emotional, crying and while on the ski run my binding for my snowboard actually snapped apart. I had never seen or experienced anything like that and I knew in a moment it was Greg’s work teasing me while on that run. I stopped and cursed him because I realized the danger of being in the back country and needing to walk out which could take hours and might get me home past dark. As it turned out, all of a sudden, I was given an idea to salvage the binding allowing me to continue on my run. I believe he both broke my binding that day and also lead me home safely. It was a great finish to honor a great friend and I look forward to seeing him again.

Red Cardinal Communicating
A church member named Steve had passed away unexpectedly from a sudden heart attack about a week before a particular Sunday service two years ago. Steve was in his mid 60s and was longtime considered the “backbone” and leader of this small church. He was president of the board of trustees, a teacher of many classes there and involved with every aspect of the life of the church. He was very loved and respected by the congregation, so we were all shocked and grief stricken at his sudden passing. Well, on this Sunday, during the service, everyone’s attention was drawn to a bird – a red Cardinal – that was pecking at the window as if he was trying to get in. This went on for several minutes. This Unity church has a huge and complete wall of glass windows that are very tall and very wide which allows for a beautiful view of a wooded area. The bird tried several locations to bang on the glass and it definitely seemed he was trying to get in. After the service finished, we all talked about that bird’s very weird behavior and we agreed that it seemed as though Steve was giving us a message that he wanted to be inside the church with us, and he probably hadn’t been ready to “make his transition” yet. Or maybe his message was simply to let us know that he had reached the “other side”, the next plane of existence. It wasn’t just me who interpreted it that way, but others as well. Also that red Cardinal had never been seen before that Sunday or after that Sunday, nor has any other bird tried to bang the window like that since.

Cell Phone Message from Bob
This is a story about my husband, Bob. He died of acute leukemia on May 30, 2012. Since that is such a deadly disease, it wasn’t a shock, yet we assumed that he would be able to fight it much longer than the 3 ½ months from diagnosis until his passing. A few days after he died at MD Anderson hospital in Houston, TX, I was back at home in Panama City Florida when I checked my cell phone to see if there were in voice messages. I was shocked to get the Greeting message that Bob had put on his cell phone. It was a simple message and exactly like the one I had heard many times when calling his cell phone. It went like this: “this is Bob, leave a message”. I had, of course, heard that message many times over the years and that was his voice. The weird, confounding and “SPOOKY” thing is that there is no way that HIS greeting message could have gotten on MY cell phone. I told several people about this and they all agreed that just could not NOT have happened. Let me also be clear that although I was in possession of his cell phone, (naturally I took his wallet and phone home with me from the hospital) I am sure that I was NOT checking His cell phone for any message coming in for him. I was definitely checking my phone for messages. I had of course created my own greeting message on my cell phone.

Traveling MerciesWhen I was in my early twenties, I was offered a new job in Denver, Colorado. I had never been there but I loaded up my old Buick to the top and headed west from Dallas. I was about 15 miles from Amarillo, TX in some very flat and empty country when I had a flat tire. I had a spare tire but it was about 7PM and dark and I had a full trunk of all my possessions covering the spare tire. I needed help. I said a little prayer and heard a dog bark across the 4 lanes of Interstate 40. I carefully crossed the highway and came into a small housing development. Just at that moment, a car pulled into the driveway. I flagged them down and asked if I could use a phone to call for a tow for my car with a flat tire. The middle aged couple were very friendly and helpful and told me in their Texas twang that there was no way I was going to get help at that time of the night in their small town but they would be happy to help.

They put me in their car and off we went to empty the trunk and change the tire. I noticed a Bible in the back seat, and was immediately comforted to know that they believed in the same God I do and their generosity was coming from the right place. I helped empty the trunk and then sat in the car with the wife while the man changed the tire. He told me the spare was not meant to go very far and I would need to get new tires in the morning. Even getting to the nearest hotel would be difficult so this lovely couple put me up for the night and suggested I call my Mom to let her know where I was. They fed me dinner and gave me an evening of friendship and great company. The next morning, the husband followed me into Amarillo and into the tire shop just to make sure I got a good deal on my new tires. Not until he knew I was well cared for did he leave. I thanked him profusely and was off to Denver.

Once I arrived in Denver, I had to move into a new apartment, start a new job and get acclimated to my new hometown so it took me about 3 months to send a thank you note to this lovely couple. Imagine my surprise and confusion when the card came back as “ address unknown”! To this day, I am not sure if this couple who had lived there forever just up and moved, or was I actually protected and entertained by angels.

A Younger and Happy Husband
After my husband passed away on September 6, 2014, I woke up one morning and he was standing at the door of our apartment looking younger and so happy. Later I was in my recliner sleeping and something woke me up rubbing my feet just as he had done so often, but there was no one I could see.

Angel Stories from 2015

December 2015

Mom Came to Get My Dad
After my mother passed suddenly she appeared to my father. She thumped him on his head while he was smoking in the house. My mother never allowed him to smoke in the house but after she passed, he had taken up doing just that! She came a second time and snatched the newspaper out of his hand and then flipped it across the room. The last visit I had with my Dad in a nursing rehab facility, he kept telling me that my mother was out in the parking lot and to go get her. Then he said she was driving by waving at him to come get in the car and go with him. He couldn’t understand why she would buy a car without him and that it was an older car – a Pontiac. He had a seizure that night that he didn’t come out of and passed away 8 days later on their anniversary.

An Angel Carried Her
My niece was involved in an auto accident about 12 years ago early in the morning on her way to Pueblo. She fell asleep at the wheel and her car flipped. She was thrown from the car. There was another car following behind her that witnessed the accident in horror. Their 3 year old little girl yelled out very excited saying “Mommy, Mommy – look at the angel carrying that woman”. Later, they went to the hospital to see how my niece was doing and then told her about their little girl seeing the angel carrying her.

Voice of My Father
My Father died in 1997 of Parkinson’s. A year after he died, I called my Mother and got her answering machine. At the end of the recording I heard my father’s voice said, “I love you, I love you, I love you”. My husband called and also heard it, as did my Father’s neighbors. They all heard it. When we tried to record it, my Father’s voice had disappeared.

Do Not Cut Off The Pony Tail
Our family was out camping one holiday. We were at a lake enjoying ourselves when I noticed my beautiful daughter going down in the lake. I didn’t know how to swim but I jumped in and grabbed her by her pony tail and got her out. The thing was that we were going to cut her pony tail off but my angel had guided me not to.

A Grandson to take Granny home
Our son, Tom was killed in a plane crash in 1991. His 93 year old Granny was frail and sickly and it was decided not to put anymore grief on her so she was not told of Tom passing. Later when she was on her death bed, she asked my niece, who was her caregiver, who was that young man in the corner of her room? My niece answered that no one was in the corner. Then Granny raised up in bed, looked again and got this big smile on her face. She then said “Tommy, what are your doing over there?” We are convinced Tom had come to take her to the Other Side.

Saved During a Car Accident
At a traffic light I was looking out the window when I was rear-ended by a car going 35 mph. I felt a being was pulling me down to the other side of the car. I would have been killed if not for this help because my car was completely smashed up.

God Saved Me
I was working at a large assisted living facility in Boulder. I worked nights and one morning at 6 AM, I was leaving and heading back to Denver on Highway 93. I saw a semi truck bearing down the hill in my lane. I had nowhere to go so thought I would die. All of a sudden, my car was picked up and then put back on the road. I went home, called my work and quit. Instantly, I got a new job with Home Instead. God saved me.

Angel Fixed My Flat Tire
I was driving to Ft Collins when I had a flat tire. There was no traffic on the street when suddenly a car driving in the other direction turned around and a woman stopped to help. She wouldn’t let me help her change or lift the tire. I turned around after the tire was fixed and she and her car were gone. I know they did not drive past me. It was a divided road. It turns out I was pregnant with my first baby and did not know it yet.

Okay to Remarry
My first husband was diagnosed with Leukemia and lived three years with it, but became seriously ill without warning. We had never discussed his thoughts on my remarrying in the future if he passed away. He died within three days of becoming very sick. The day before his funeral, I woke up in the morning and noticed my wedding rings had been moved from my left ring finger and were put on my other hand. I believe this was my angel letting me know it was fine for me to remarry and that my husband was okay with it.

Children Already Know God and Angels
In February 2015, I was driving my 4 year old granddaughter to school and out of nowhere she says to me “When do I get to see God again?” I was stunned so I asked her to repeat what she said and she asked once again! I told her that “she probably won’t see Him for a long time, it won’t be until you go back to heaven.” Her reply was, “I liked it in heaven, before I came to Mom and Dad and you and Pop Pop. The angels used to feed me and play with me!”

Healed By Jesus and His Angel
After the birth of my son in 1981, I was bleeding badly and the doctors said I was dying. It felt like I was leaving my body. Jesus and His angel appeared to me, touched me and I was healed. He then spoke to me and said I was going to be okay.

Premonition
My daughter was in an auto accident in 1994 on her graduation day. She was traveling north on I-75 on a Friday afternoon during rush hour when she was involved in a horrible accident that involved her car and another car. Both girls in the car only had concussions because my daughter said an angel guided her from the car and saved her life. As her Mother, I had a premonition of the accident seven days before. I knew my daughter was going to be in an accident but I did not know when or what her outcome would be.

Was This The Voice Of An Angel??
About ten years ago I was pretty much into drinking and drugs. I bought a little trailer and was trying to stop my bad habits with God’s help. I was parked at a motel one night and a “voice” told me to go across the street and rob the convenience store. I went there, covered my hand over my face, and asked the clerk to hand me some of the money. The clerk told the police later that he recognized me as a regular customer so he handed me $200, thinking I was just joking. I grabbed the money and ran across the street. I fell down on my left shoulder but did not drop the money. The drug dealer came to my door and I bought $200 worth of crack. The next day I was arrested by the police. The judge told me I would have 25 years in prison unless I accepted ten years right then. That was the custom in Florida then. I took the ten years. While in prison, I was exposed to many other religions so I studied them. While in prison, I was converted to Catholicism. After 8 1/2 years I was released for good behavior. When I returned to Denver I attended Sister Georgeann’s “Angels Everywhere” program at Senior Support Services. I have to wonder, could that voice have been the voice of an angel? At least that is what I thought because what I learned in prison changed my life. I have not had a drink or drug since I was arrested that day.

Preparation For Heaven
At 17, my son who was a strong Christian, stopped me as he was washing his face and said, “Mom, you hurt when Bill left home. You hurt more when Douglas left home because half of us were gone. You hurt again when John left home and you will hurt even more when I leave home.” I felt great urgency in his voice as he said, “Mom, you must start preparing RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW!” A few days later, he died in a motorcycle accident. I think he did not consciously know, but I felt strongly that heaven was in some small way preparing us both for this fatal accident.

A Voice Calmed Me
At 13 years old, I was in a car accident where the car flipped over and crushed my hand. While trying to free myself, a Voice said, “Don’t move, be still”. My arm was stuck between glass and the car almost severing arteries. Because of the voice, I calmed down and waited for the Paramedics to help me.

Angel Drives a Car
In August, 1998, I was driving west across Kansas, on Hwy. 96, at around 2:00 a.m. I was approximately 20 miles east of Scott City. I was very tired, so I stopped by the side of the road, took a drink of warm water from my thermos, and washed my face. It was almost 90 degrees outside. I had been driving about eight hours. I worked as an environmental engineer, so I often drove for long hours. I would work during the day then drive at night. The next thing I knew my right tire was bumping along on gravel at the edge of the highway. I realized I had been asleep. Just across the highway was a sign for a restaurant four miles back, east of me, in Leoti, Kansas. I was startled! I had driven through Scott City, 20 miles to Leoti, then four miles when my tire hit the gravel. I had been asleep all that time, with no recollection of seeing or driving through either small town! It had to be my Guardian Angel driving my car.

Man’s Best Friend
On December 14th, 2010 my husband Barney was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer which had metastasized to his back. Six months later, on June 14th, 2011 he lost his battle with this ugly, painful disease. The last nine days of his life were spent in hospice, as day after day, he was more and more consumed with pain. I prayed for God to take him home to end this awful pain. Still he hung on. I asked myself “Why?” While I was sitting by his bedside one day, I read some leaflets. One had an article about how the patient will wait until they see certain loved ones before they are able to leave. I told Barney I would bring Quinn, one of our two Greyhounds, in to see him. The next afternoon Quinn put her paws on his bed, laid her head on his hand, and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Two hours later he passed.

A Mother’s Intuition“When I was seven, I was playing ‘Lava Monster’ with my friends. There was a rope tied onto the monkey bars. The rope got tangled and formed a “noose” which somehow managed to choke me. My mother, who was in the house, suddenly heard something tell her to go outside. By the time she saw me I was blue in the face. She quickly got me loose. Thankfully, I was all right.”

A Prayer Answered
“When I was around seven or eight, I was very curious about God and all the different religious denominations. I would beg my parents to take me to different churches so I could experience each one. I was always very “God conscious’ and would pray, asking God to appear to me so then I would know for sure if God was real. One morning when I woke up I felt, rather than heard, a voice telling me not to turn around. I obeyed, not from fear, but from love. I felt this indescribable feeling of love, warmth, and comfort. I knew there was the most beautiful yellowish light behind me emanating from this presence. I again felt, rather than heard, a voice telling me to trust and that everything would be all right. I am forever grateful and blessed to have been given this gift from God.”

Warning Words from Mother
“My mother had passed years before I was engaged to marry a man who had three children. While I was in the shower one morning, I clearly heard my mother’s voice say in Spanish, ‘Do not marry that man! He will make you suffer.’ I heard her voice in my head three times. As time passed the truth came out about this man. I found out that he had been cheating on me while we were engaged, so of course, we never married.”

Near Death Experience
“I was in a near fatal car accident in which I broke my back, hips, ribs and knees. I lost 55% of my liver, gallbladder, and spleen. I was unconscious for three months. During this time, I had a near death experience in which I rose up out of my body and I saw a white light. All my pain was gone. I was told I couldn’t stay because my work here was not done. Then I felt myself going back to my body and I could feel the pain again. This experience changed my life and I am now a Stephen minister, giving comfort to people who are near death, telling them there is nothing to fear.”

The Two Hundred Dollar Angel
“My father was involved in a threatening situation and needed $200 to change the locks at his home. He told me this just before I was on my way to daily Mass. After Mass, an elderly gentleman approached me and said I looked stressed. He said he would pray for me. He then reached out to shake my hand, and to my surprise there was $200 in it!”

Hearing the Impossible
“When I had open heart surgery, the nurse noticed I was not doing well. She tried to give me a shot, but she couldn’t get the needle into my arm. A doctor came over to my bed, asking the nurse to give him the syringe. I could hear on the monitor that I was flat lining, and I also heard the doctor swear at the nurse. When I told the doctor the next day that I heard him swear he said ‘You couldn’t have heard me, you were dead, and flat lining.’ But I did hear it.”

Afterlife Decision
“On April 6, 1964 I was pronounced dead in the hospital. I was on a gurney which was in a hallway, and I saw a bright light. A voice said ‘you have a choice to come with me or stay. This is the only time I will ask.’ The whole experience was so peaceful, and serene it was very tempting to go with this ‘voice.’ After some time had passed, of which I have no idea how long that was, I decided to stay.”

Cried Out To God
“The fire department asked us to remove some exit signs from the building where my business is located. As the owner, I decided to get on a scaffold to see if I could disconnect the sign myself. Instead, I fell twelve feet breaking my arm, pelvis and tailbone and was bleeding. I couldn’t move myself to the exit door some feet away. I cried out to God, and the next thing I knew, I was at the door, and able to push it open, allowing people to come to my rescue.”

Spared From Fire
“I was a drug addict for twenty three and a half years. My preferences were heroin, pills, and cocaine, but I would take anything if it got me ‘high.’ One night when I was high, I was sitting on the side of my bed with a lit cigarette and fell asleep. When I woke up the next day my mattress had burned all around me except for the spot where I had been laying. I was stuck to the burned mattress and my elbows were stuck to the robe I was wearing. God did not let me burn. He allowed me to live. I call it my Shadrack, Meshack and DeBindago experience. God said, ‘just like I allowed the Pharaoh, and his army to go through the Red Sea and die, I allowed you to live.”

Miraculous Survival
“At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Lemierres Syndrome which has a forty five percent mortality rate. I had a blood clot in my jugular vein that had burst into my lungs causing both lungs to collapse and kidney failure. In ICU, I remember hearing my godfather’s voice in my dreams telling me to enjoy my life, live it to the fullest because life was too short. I was moved from the ICU one week after having those dreams, and I was taken off the respirator two days after that. I was in the hospital a total of six weeks, and walked out alive despite the doctors telling me it would take a miracle to survive.”
